    Whilst I'm on having a rant.

    Does anyone know why when I publish to pdf and print the drawing . This printed pdf is often of a inferior quality than if I dwf it first then print to pdf then print a paper copy.

    ie hatch styles and lines print differently!!!

    I've just spent all afternnon printing to pdf trhen printing paper copies to find thes are not of a suitable quality to issue

    Cheers

    We use PrimoPDF here (free) and you can alter the quality and size of the PDF on that. Never had a problem with it.
